"Report——" The messenger flew into the city lord's palace, "Great victory on the front line!"
"Read it." Chen Tian nodded and signaled to Fuluo beside him to be calm and not be too late to speak after hearing the battle report.
The messenger soldier was dusty, and there were blood stains on his armor. He had obviously just retired from the battle on the battlefield, but he did not look tired. Instead, he spread out the document and said excitedly:
"The Yongtai Navy achieved its first victory in the first battle, defeating the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry Battalion, killing 996 enemies, seizing two boxes of gold, seventeen boxes of silver, half a box of various jewelry, eighty horses, and countless armor and weapons!"
Chen Tian was startled.
In fact, he knew that Yin Jianyuan intended to spread news about the caravan in order to attract the Yongtai Navy to come ashore, and he also took advantage of the situation to test the background of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry.
But I didn't expect that the caravan was actually transporting property, and there were so many of them.
"To the Lord, the property has been delivered to the City Lord's Mansion, please take a look at it!"
"That's right." Chen Tian was unmoved and asked the ordering soldier, "What are the casualties in our headquarters?"
"A total of 3,000 people participated in the battle, 800 were seriously injured, and more than 200 were killed."
A miserable victory.
The casualties were quite large.
Chen Tian couldn't help but frown a little. These three thousand naval forces were all carefully selected elites from the Yongtai Army and the Nanxiang Army. They also had a numerical advantage, but they still suffered casualties one to one.
But then again.
It was the first time for both armies to participate in the war. Three months ago, they were still civilians. They could win miserably against the brave and skilled cavalry, but their strength was acceptable.
We still need to invest more.
Train harder.
If gold and silver are gone, you can make more money, but if human life is gone, then there is nothing.
As long as these veterans are allowed to survive, they will be the backbone of an army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the soul.
After Chen Tian let the soldiers go down to rest, he immediately summoned the officials and arranged for the wounded to be sent to Liuyintang for treatment as soon as possible. The damaged armaments were immediately replenished by Fenjin Villa.
He also dispatched Qu Si to supervise the slaughter of cattle and sheep, provide logistics in a timely manner, and at the same time reward the army well.
Finally, this victory must be heavily publicized. The newspaper published it for ten consecutive days and actively promoted the pacesetter.
The secretary carefully wrote down the various arrangements, and after repeating them again to confirm that they were correct, he quickly went to the official office and handed them over to Lian Zixin for implementation.
Fuluo looked at Chen Tian's skillful decision-making and raised her chin as she thought about it. When she met the god half a year ago, he was just a killing god with extraordinary combat power.
Now that I see him, he has a more gentle and elegant temperament, calm and unhurried, as if he has everything under control.
This made Fuluo, who spent her whole day dealing with dandies in Gusu City, very fond of her and felt that this was what a man should be like.
"What does Yuguan mean?" Chentian knocked on the tea table, "You're still looking at me?"
"I'm sorry, I accidentally got distracted just now." Fuluo hurriedly patted her face and said with a smile, "The deity looks so cool when he is serious about his work."
Chen Tian joked: "Hey, Jade Guanyin has been on tour for a long time. She learned it badly in Gusu City and has a glib tone, right?"
Fuluo's appearance was more outstanding. At that time, Chen Tian saw her frowning and deliberately arranged for her to promote Yongtai City to the surrounding common people. Originally, he just wanted her to have something to do and relax.
As a result, the performance on stage was so effective that it attracted refugees from thousands of miles away from Luwu Mountain to settle here, and the population suddenly exceeded 500,000.
Later, Lianzi Xin was promoted from a low-ranking novelist to a deacon of the city lord's palace. He also reciprocated the love of his former leader and helped Fuluo establish a pear sect to engage in stage performances full-time.
With help from many levels, Fuluo gradually led Limen onto the right track, and the reputation of Jade Guanyin spread far and wide.
Even in Gusu City, some people arranged for Fuluo to become the fifth of the four beauties, which shows her popularity.
As for her return to Yongtai City now, it was Chen Tian's instruction. After all, there was a head-on conflict between Yongtai City and the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry, and if not, Qi Yin Jianyuan would vent his anger on the Limen disciples.
certainly.
The Quantai Judge and the Ghost Lantern Organization who protected Fuluo are still staying at the posthouse outside Gusu City, but the protection target has been changed to Li Jie who is stealing spiritual stones.
Now that she is back, she has brought back relevant information and is preparing to report it to Chen Tian.
"The excavation work went smoothly, along the left bank of Zishui River all the way to Pingmuguan. After seven or eight leakage accidents, the Chuanshan Sect has gained more experience, and Li Jie also promised to reach the scheduled location by the middle of this month."
Since the secret work of stealing spiritual stones was very good, Fuluo only knew that there was a tunnel, but she didn't know its specific purpose.
However, she was also very sensible and did not ask any more questions. She just reported all the news that Li Jie needed to convey to Chen Tian truthfully, without any trace of curiosity.
Chen Tian thought deeply.
Yongtai Navy made enough noise this time to definitely attract Yin Jianyuan's attention, and the posthouse outside Gusu City should not be noticed.
As long as it is delayed until the middle of the month and Li Jie starts to mine some of the spiritual stones for emergency response, Chen Tian feels that he can completely garrison the post in an upright manner, and it will be Yongtai City's turn to launch a full-scale counterattack.
The most important thing is that the wealth produced by Yongtai City every day is worth tens of thousands of gold. If the city is closed because of the war, it will not only lose tens of thousands of gold.
Therefore, the war must be spread as far away as possible. The post house outside Gusu City is a good place to go. It also has water supply as a logistical supply line. It is perfect.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Tian wrote down the plan, and then handed it over to the Cabinet to discuss the specific details.
Speaking of which, under the leadership of Pang Xingyun, the shogunate, which was responsible for military affairs, was very capable of giving advice. Unknowingly, it was in charge of civil and military affairs with the city lord's official office.
This saves Chen Tian a lot of trouble.
He was afraid of the massive amount of paperwork that Lian Zixin brought in last time. Now he is only responsible for setting the tone and steering the direction, leaving all the rest to these two departments.
Chen Tian deeply felt that even if he traveled thousands of miles now, there would be no trouble in Yongtai City.
certainly.
This will have to wait until the Yin clan in the northern region is completely destroyed, otherwise Yin Jianye's talents and intelligence will easily take over Yongtai City.
"Let's go out and take a look at those belongings." Chen Tian got up and took Fuluo out of the study. As soon as he stepped across the threshold, he saw Pu Ji who was cleaning the courtyard.

"I've seen the city lord——"
"Yes, that's good. I won't deduct your wages this time." Chen Tian smiled, but also noticed that she was deliberately stretching her tail, and rolled her eyes, "Call me again to hear it."
Boji was used to being arrogant and arrogant. She always called herself the deity when she spoke or shut up, and she always called Chen Tian.
But since half a month's wages were deducted from her, she became an ordinary person and finally felt what it meant to be hungry. It was a very fresh memory.
Later, Pu Ji no longer dared to shout and scream, and every time she saw Chen Tian, she would obediently call him "city lord".
"Ah? Call me again?" Puji couldn't help but be a little surprised. She stretched out her hand and said, "Then you have to pay more."
Fuluo was dumbfounded when she heard this. She thought that this sister was very beautiful, but she was also too courageous, right?
Looking at the city lord's palace, it is estimated that only the sect master of Xianyin Pavilion has this honor. Can you joke to the god?
However.
Chentian still didn't care about Puji's attitude of asking for money.
He leaned over and pinched Pu Ji's small chin, and said jokingly: "Didn't you take the money yourself? Do you want me to give it to you?"
"Hey! Don't accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air! Did you take money?" Pu Ji's face changed slightly and she subconsciously covered her sleeve pocket.
But it was this action that made her suddenly come back to her senses, and then she raised her head full of resentment and stared at Chen Tian:
